Rider Profile

PurposeBuilt primarily as a premium long-distance adventure tourer that can handle motorway miles and light off-road excursions with equal confidence.
Rider FitIts 835mm+ seat height and 243kg dry weight mean shorter or less physically strong riders may find slow-speed maneuvering and off-road recovery demanding.
CharacterA refined, torquey triple-powered flagship that rewards confident riders with effortless high-speed cruising and strong overtaking power.
Not Ideal ForNot ideal for absolute beginners or riders seeking a light, flickable bike for tight city streets and technical single-track trails.

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 835mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2021 Triumph Tiger 1200 Xrt, with a relaxed knee angle of around 135 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
